Ep 769 - Starship Troopers, by Robert A. Heinlein — Overdue

"Blood at the polls and blood in the streets", as Robert Heinlein said.
I've said it before, I imagine that every time I quote Heinlein, a grumpy Sad or Rabid Puppy recalls "The devil can quote scripture to serve his purpose".

I haven't read this in years. Heinlein is such an adventure, he's the best/worst at self-insert characters. Jubal Hershaw is a classic in the genre
